The Engineered Boulderer

After reading Cabel from panic software recounting his experiences with the Nike+iPod sports kit I thought to myself, “I have to get me one of those.” I think Cabel would be a great salesman. After discovering the Nike + iPod group on Flickr, I couldn’t wait to get the kit, and told myself that if I didn’t get it for Christmas I would have to buy it myself. As luck would have it, I did get it for Christmas, and I’ve been “playing” with it since.

I’m becoming more and more of a runner, and I do have a goal of running a marathon within the next couple of years. This year, my goal is to complete a half-marathon. To that end I’ve signed up for the B.T. Half Marathon on April 29.

Yes, I’m going to run a half-marathon! It hasn’t really sunk in yet, but I guess it will once I get closer. At least I have a focus for the next 14 weeks now

Now I would wish to run it in less than 1 hour 30 minutes, it is a dream goal, but something to work towards.

I am working on reviews of Nike+iPod sports kit, Guitar Hero II, and Chi Running. However, Susan is in the process of buying a horse which involves several full-day trips to Jutland. In the meantime read Michael bemoan the low level of social networking (á la Flickr) in Nike+.

We have now begun a new year, and 2006 is behind us. For New Years we had a few friends over. Fortunately, I used some vacation time between Christmas and New Years which gave us time to clean up for our party. However, I get ahead of myself.

I must warn any reader that this is a rather longish entry detailing most of what happened to us between Christmas and New Years.
